Jimmy G to Raiders

They had $32M and no 1st rounder (due to Wilson trade), so McGlinchey and Powers seems like all they can do unless they restructure or trade someone.

and $50M guaranteed is a lot

McGlinchey getting 5/87.5M, over $50M guaranteed. Hard pass.

C - Ben Powers to Denver

McGlinchey to Denver.

Hargrave to 49ers, 4/84 (ouch)

159 total tackles (7th in NFL), 99 Solo (7th in NFL), 10 TFL (38th-T in NFL), 7 PD, 2 sacks, 5 QB Hits, and 1 FR in 2022.

T.J. Edwards and Jack Sanborn were teammates at Wisconsin. Ian Cunningham connection too. Great signing. LB room looks a lot better now. They got 3 years of Edwards for less than 1 year of Roquan. Insane deal for the Bears. Hometown kid, from Lake Villa, only 26.

Post all the updates here. Make individual threads for Bears news.

In the first 72 hours of FA, King Poles will sign Dre'Mont Jones, McGlinchey, and Okereke (to satisfy Flus). Those are my guesses. How about you? Who do you think Poles will sign? Gimme your top 3. #BTFD Note - those are not who I want, but who I think the Bears will target. I would rather see McGary than McGlinchey (price and performance).

Hype video, very impressive:

Good breakdown of Moore:

The Rams going into full tank mode. Ramsey traded for a 3rd rounder to Miami, wow.

I love the adjustments he makes on the ball, he has a huge catch radius.

I think we will start hearing about some stuff before then but the "expected to sign" stuff will come within minutes of the 12pm/11am window. Last year Rapoport tweeted the Ogunjobi signing at 12:08pm.

Carter is a no-brainer if he falls to 9, I doubt that happens though.

This is from Yahoo: So 12pm ET, 11 CT. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-free-agency-tracker-2023-140000094.html

I think he is an RFA is I am not mistaken.

They had some odd choices with Peterman, Sieman, and Boyle. Those guys were terrible and none of them was really useful as a backup to Fields. I assume Poles will at least draft one later for the PS, but I would assume they want a vet as a backup. I just know if they want a Brissett or Bridgewater level guy who has some mobility or someone like Mariota who runs more often, or if they want a cheaper one. Either way, that spot is going to be interesting to see where it goes.

I can't believe free agency (legal tampering period) actually starts in just over 36 hours from now at 12pm (Noon) on Monday. The actual league year doesn't start until Wednesday, but with the Bears cap, they are likely to have one or two blue chip dudes locked up before Wednesday. We might even hear some rumblings tomorrow.

Bears went from 20 to 11, gave up a 5th (#164), and then next year's 1st and a 5th (#7 and #112). So Fields for #20, #164 in 2021 and #7 and #112 in 2022. To me the 4th and 5th's are very minimal, so its like Fields for #7 and #20. Fields easily could've been a top 3 pick.
